The images we build contain a subscription-manager "fact" called api-type. This gets reported when a machine registers with Red Hat and we use it to track deployments of IB images based on the tool used to build them. We separate between the service (cloudapi-v2), osbuild-composer / composer-cli (weldr), and image-builder-cli.

Now¹ that we can generate manifests using ib-cli in osbuild-composer, we will need to be able to control the value externally. ib-cli is adding the image-builder-cli value unconditionally, but we would want images generated in the service to contain cloudapi-v2, regardless of which tool was used in the backend to generate the manifest.
